Level 12 HC - Archer Trade Fire

[Satan]

if i send 2 waves of 100k wars will i be able to 1 shot them? I ask because I would rather be safe and lose an extra 100k wars than lose an extra 100k archers. If i get them down to 10k cavs i know i can 1 shot them (right?) but if i 3 shot them t here is a risk of 2 or 4 shotting them correct? =/

Your first shot at the Cavs is at 50% effectiveness. With a 200 attack hero, you will kill ~42k Cavs at 100% effectiveness. So, first shot at them, you kill 21k Cavs. Second shot, you kill 42k. And third you kill another 42k, or whatever is left. So the key is getting Cavs to under 100k. With a 100k Warrior wave, you will be completely safe. Remember that you need to apply War horn.

every time another idiot posts a question here a good guide can be pushed off page one, maybe even a guide answering the very question posted

A well placed question can become a good guide. Don't be a d-bag.

Ahh okay this makes sense. So for a 3shot cav the top of the range is 100k cavs, what is the bottom? I need to look at the war reports and find the city has between x and 100k cav, then I know I will 3 shot, not 2 or 4shot.

edit: I take it between 85 and 95k would be best?

but still, my hero has 270 attack so I think it would be safest to get cav down to 10k, then i will 1 shot no prob. Would 2 waves of 100k wars get them to 10k?

Dude, do the math. The bottom would be around 65k or so. If your hero is 270, then just attack normally, You don't even need to clear any Cavs beforehand.

And no 2x 100k waves will not take out 98k cavs, lol.

Thank you all for your posts.... it has helped me a lot to understand some of the mechanics....

Your openness is much appreciated by us noobs....

Indeed.

Any ballpark numbers on what your hero attack / ldrship needs to be to 3shot 100k cavs when attacking the HC? (to get trade fire obv).

Also, what is better to attack against, the king or queen? lol

1. 330 attack to 3-shot w/o warrior wave. Any less and you'll need the warrior wave.

2. They are both the same.
